IN IMAGES - The work is located at the Belleville metro station. The fans will be able to come running.


Even the artist praised the approach: the Space invader PA_689 has reappeared in Paris at the Belleville metro.

Well known to lovers of these glued mosaics around the world, this work is unique in that it is probably the artist's longest.

It measures in fact about twenty meters long, stuck on a sidewalk edge.

The artist explained on Instagram that the original was installed in 2006. With time and passers-by, the tiles had come off and the work had almost disappeared.

But as we wrote on our site in 2015, for a few years now fans of the artist and the FlashInvaders application he launched have been having fun reproducing damaged or missing works in order to earn as many points as possible. .

A community of “

reactivators

” was thus born on social networks to recreate the works identically so you can “flash” them in the app.

Then it's up to whoever will have the most points next.

It's fun and allows you to travel through Paris or the whole world, since Invader has, to date, invaded 79 cities.

In terms of merchandise, this game is well regarded by Invader.

He was certainly overwhelmed by the craze, but he invented something that no one else had done yet.

“, Explained Stéphanie Lemoine, journalist specializing in graffiti, in 2019.

An impressive performance that attracts many happy "flashers".
